ANTEDILUVIAN / TEMPLE NIGHTSIDE “Cogitating Vacuous” split 7”EP

By far the best death metal split-7″ to be out in 2012 and one of the very best of the last decade, Nuclear Winter Records proves with this mystical artefact that the black blood that flows in the label’s veins flows directly from the hideous heart that powers the undead body of death metal.

Enough praising to our comrades. Seriously, this split-7″ is quintessential and both bands are absolutely fantastic in delivering some of the most mystical, violent metal sounds in the underground today.

The canadians Antediluvian are the most known right now. Their “Throught The Cervix Of Havvah” debut full-length has put them at the very front boundaries of the worldwide underground metal scene (we carry this title on CD, if you’re interested). Their offering here is in the same veins. A slab of chaotic, precataclysmic black/death.

The split is not only articulate and homogenous musically but also conceptually and aesthetically. Tim from Antediluvian has designed the monstrous artwork. Judging from the songtitles (“Communion with the Void” and “Somnambulant of the Void”, both there also seems to be a conceptual continuum.
